because he had to use the bathroom. Instead of turning off the engine(引擎）and taking the key with him, the driver left the bus

20．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
Long ago, people lived on wild animals，fruits and other plants and they didn't need to use money.
As time passed, families had more products than they needed, such as animals and crops. So they needed to trade (交易）with others. They began to use money to make it easier. However, it was not like the money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt or large stones.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. Because they were easier to carry than goods (货物)，countries began to make coins as their money.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably in the 11th century. An Italian traveler, Marco Polo, saw the Chinese use paper money when he visited China in the 1200s. After his travel, he told the western people what he saw. But European countries didn't start using paper money till the 1600s.
Today we have many ways to pay for things, such as coins, paper money and cards. Some prefer to pay by card. That's because paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
（1）People began to use money because they .
A．lived on plants B．raised animals
C．needed to trade D．grew crops
（2）People used as money during the 600s BC.

A．in the 600s BC B．in the 600s
C．in the 1200s D．in the 1600s

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.
About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.
In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called “Bow Street Runners” because they worked near Bow Street.
Fifty years later, there were 120 “Bow Street Runners”, but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London) Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.
Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.

22．【答案】called；wondered；but；politely；leg；them；to hear；to join；broken；good
【知识点】人物传记/故事阅读类
【解析】【分析】主要讲了中东地区的一个叫做Sthira的老人总认为无论发生什么，都是好事。
（1）句意：在一个村庄里有一个叫做Sthira的老人。句子已经有谓语was，man和call间表示被动，所以用动词过去分词做man的定语，call的过去分词是called，故填called。
（2）句意：Sthira的朋友想知道是否他的儿子将回来。时态是一般过去时，所以用wonder的过去式wondered，故填wondered。
（3）句意：但是Sthira总是说“无论发生什么，都是好事”。前后句表示转折，所以用but，但是，故填but。
（4）句意：他感谢了村民，并且礼貌地说“无论发生什么，都是好事”。副词修饰实义动词，said是实义动词，所以用形容词polite的副词politely，礼貌地，故填politely。
（5）句意：然而，之后Sthira的儿子摔断了他的腿。根据后文His son's leg got badly hurt!他儿子的腿严重受伤，可知摔断的是一根腿，故填leg。
（6）句意：老人再次感谢了他们，说：“无论发生什么，都是好事”。thanked，感谢，及物动词，后面用宾格，主格they的宾格是them， 他们，故填them。
（7）句意：一些村民听到这个很惊讶。be+形容词+to do sth.做某事怎样，固定搭配，故填to hear。
（8）句意：几天后，军队来到村子里，强迫所有的年轻人参军。force sb. to do sth.强迫某人做某事，固定搭配，故填to join。
（9）句意：当他们发现他的儿子有一根腿断了时，他们把他留下了。形容词修饰名词，leg是名词，所以用动词break的形容词broken，摔断的，故填broken。
（10）句意：所有的村民来庆祝他的好运。老人的运气是好的，形容词修饰名词，luck是名词，所以用形容词good，好的，故填good。
【点评】考查语法填空，考查词汇在语篇中的运用能力。注意理解句意，首先读一遍，然后再逐一作答。注意句型、搭配、短语及语境。
23．【答案】Dear
Tom,
I'm very happy that you are interested in
traditional Chinese stories. Well, let me tell you a famous one with the name "Sima
guang hit the tank".
Once Sima Guang was playing hide-and-seek
with several children in the backyard. There was a large water tank in the
yard. It was full of water.
When
the kids were playing, one child accidentally fell into the tank. Other children
were so frightened that they started to run, crying for help. However, Sima
Guang was different. He thought it over and then had an idea. He picked up a
big stone and threw it at the tank. "Bang!" the tank broke and the
water ran out. The kid was saved.
Do you like the story What do you think of
Sima Guan.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li
Mei

20．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
Long ago, people lived on wild animals，fruits and other plants and they didn't need to use money.
As time passed, families had more products than they needed, such as animals and crops. So they needed to trade (交易）with others. They began to use money to make it easier. However, it was not like the money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt or large stones.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. Because they were easier to carry than goods (货物)，countries began to make coins as their money.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably in the 11th century. An Italian traveler, Marco Polo, saw the Chinese use paper money when he visited China in the 1200s. After his travel, he told the western people what he saw. But European countries didn't start using paper money till the 1600s.
Today we have many ways to pay for things, such as coins, paper money and cards. Some prefer to pay by card. That's because paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
（1）People began to use money because they .
A．lived on plants B．raised animals
C．needed to trade D．grew crops
（2）People used as money during the 600s BC.

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.
About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.
In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called “Bow Street Runners” because they worked near Bow Street.
Fifty years later, there were 120 “Bow Street Runners”, but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London) Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.
Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.

【答案】called；wondered；but；politely；leg；them；to hear；to join；broken；good
【知识点】人物传记/故事阅读类
【解析】【分析】主要讲了中东地区的一个叫做Sthira的老人总认为无论发生什么，都是好事。
（1）句意：在一个村庄里有一个叫做Sthira的老人。句子已经有谓语was，man和call间表示被动，所以用动词过去分词做man的定语，call的过去分词是called，故填called。
（2）句意：Sthira的朋友想知道是否他的儿子将回来。时态是一般过去时，所以用wonder的过去式wondered，故填wondered。
（3）句意：但是Sthira总是说“无论发生什么，都是好事”。前后句表示转折，所以用but，但是，故填but。
（4）句意：他感谢了村民，并且礼貌地说“无论发生什么，都是好事”。副词修饰实义动词，said是实义动词，所以用形容词polite的副词politely，礼貌地，故填politely。
（5）句意：然而，之后Sthira的儿子摔断了他的腿。根据后文His son's leg got badly hurt!他儿子的腿严重受伤，可知摔断的是一根腿，故填leg。
（6）句意：老人再次感谢了他们，说：“无论发生什么，都是好事”。thanked，感谢，及物动词，后面用宾格，主格they的宾格是them， 他们，故填them。
（7）句意：一些村民听到这个很惊讶。be+形容词+to do sth.做某事怎样，固定搭配，故填to hear。
（8）句意：几天后，军队来到村子里，强迫所有的年轻人参军。force sb. to do sth.强迫某人做某事，固定搭配，故填to join。
（9）句意：当他们发现他的儿子有一根腿断了时，他们把他留下了。形容词修饰名词，leg是名词，所以用动词break的形容词broken，摔断的，故填broken。
（10）句意：所有的村民来庆祝他的好运。老人的运气是好的，形容词修饰名词，luck是名词，所以用形容词good，好的，故填good。
【点评】考查语法填空，考查词汇在语篇中的运用能力。注意理解句意，首先读一遍，然后再逐一作答。注意句型、搭配、短语及语境。

【答案】Dear
Tom,
I'm very happy that you are interested in
traditional Chinese stories. Well, let me tell you a famous one with the name "Sima
guang hit the tank".
Once Sima Guang was playing hide-and-seek
with several children in the backyard. There was a large water tank in the
yard. It was full of water.
When
the kids were playing, one child accidentally fell into the tank. Other children
were so frightened that they started to run, crying for help. However, Sima
Guang was different. He thought it over and then had an idea. He picked up a
big stone and threw it at the tank. "Bang!" the tank broke and the
water ran out. The kid was saved.
Do you like the story What do you think of
Sima Guan.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li
Mei
